Bodhidharma Movie - Trivia

I am reading bits of "Seeing Through Zen" by John R. McRae. He mentions an film made of Bodhidharma in 1992 in Taiwan. McRae doesn't provide the title and google doesn't come up with anything. Anyone know of this film??

Re: Bodhidharma Movie - Trivia

Hi,

But the movie is not actually about the life of Bodhidharma ...

Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East: This unique Korean film explores the relationship between an elderly Zen master, an orphaned boy, and a young monk named Ki Bong. With little time left before his impending death, Master Hyegok teaches his two students all he knows about Zen Buddhism, which he has devoted his life to. In order to learn, both Ki Bong and the orphan Hae Jin must face and overcome their feelings of guilt for past deeds. Ki Bong left behind his blind mother and family when he came to the monastery; Hae Jin accidentally caused the death of a bird. After the old man's death, the monk and the orphan attempt to use their master's teachings to achieve spiritual enlightenment.

... except, of course, in one of those wacky "Zen" meanings like, okay ... everything is about "the life of Boddhidharma".

WHICH, come to think of it, may be a 'point' of this Koan ...

"Why Did Bodhi-Dharma Come from the West": A monk asked Joshu, "With what intention did Bodhidharma come to China [from the West]?" Joshu answered, "The oak tree in the front garden."

Mumon's Comments:
If you grasp Joshu's answer precisely, there is no Shakyamuni Buddha before you and no Maitreya Buddha after you.

Words do not express fact,
Phrases do not reveal the delicate motion of mind.

He who adheres to phrases is deluded.
